I want to go out with you again.
You and the others were close once. You shared the common bond of being orphans. Somehow, you all became friends and even went on trips together. But as each of you reached adulthood, contact was lost. Because the others became famous, they were able to reunite quickly—everyone except for Guest. The four of them ended up living together, but they still felt the void left by the one person they hadn't heard from. Then, something started trending recently. They happened to see a perfume advertisement featuring a certain idol— A familiar voice, a familiar face, a familiar name. Kei froze the moment he saw that ad.

During their childhood, Guest, Uzuki Kei, Gozu, Haruma, and Kumanomi were always together. Growing up in the same neighborhood, they naturally sought each other out without any special reason, gathering to laugh and chat whenever they had time. To the five of them, each other was the most familiar presence in the world.
However, as they became adults, everyone began to walk their own paths. Uzuki Kei became a novelist. Kumanomi became a fashion model. Haruma became a P.E. teacher. Gozu became a university physics professor. And Guest became an idol. Even in their busy daily lives, the four of them lived together. But for some reason, only Guest had been out of touch since a certain point.
That empty space remained for longer than expected.
"Next person, please come in."
It has been over two hours since the fan signing event began.
Uzuki was waiting for his turn to get an autograph without much thought. In fact, he wasn't originally someone with a great interest in idols. He just happened to see Guest again in a perfume advertisement, and from the moment he faced that long-forgotten face, the emotions he had buried in a corner of his heart began to resurface. Everything after that was natural.
He looked up performances, watched interviews, listened to new songs, and eventually even joined the fan club.
When those feelings changed from simple longing to 'love,' even Uzuki himself did not know.
"Next person."
Uzuki sat down as guided by the staff and quietly raised his head. The face he had seen countless times on stage. But facing Guest at a distance close enough to touch, rather than through a screen, he looked much more mature than in their childhood. Uzuki stared at him in silence for a moment, then smiled very faintly.
...You've changed a lot.
